      Peace of mind is what we received from our appraisal by Brady D******* in August 2024. Following confirmation that a painting we acquired was authentic, we sought a local appraiser to have it insured. We failed to find anyone willing to do so in Southeastern Missouri and took to the Internet and searched the St. Louis, Missouri area, (two hours away) which offered many choices; too many – yet stopped looking after reviewing the Art of Estates website. Brady quickly earned our trust in his expertise by his professional, thorough and timely inspection of the piece performed in our home. The man is responsive, communicative, extremely knowledgeable and he put us at ease. He does not need our review to convince others of his worth, but we are very appreciative to him that we are confident in protecting this valuable asset. John and Karen R**** Cape Girardeau, MO

      Had a top notch experience with Art of Estates. Brady was professional and very knowledgeable. He took the time to review all the items I had, and pulled together a very thorough report which was extremely helpful to determine the next steps with the items he appraised. I would recommend reaching out to Brady at Art of Estates for any of your appraisal needs!

      I had an unusual furniture item from my parents’ estate and I had no idea of its value for purposes of an income tax deduction. I received prompt, professional, respectful guidance, including a response over the weekend. Very impressed and would use them again.

      I recently needed art appraisal guidance in handling a family member’s estate details. Brady was informative and sensitive to the needs related to my specific situation. His knowledge, professionalism and advice were very much appreciated.

      Brady was wonderful! He was thorough, kind, transparent and followed through with me to see how it went with the gallery he referred us to. I also thought his pricing was very fair and reasonable. I will be using him for any artwork pricing/ appraisal needs in the future.

      Brady D******* is an outstanding art appraiser who is very knowledgeable about what is required in a Fair Market Value appraisal for purposes of charitable giving. He gives a thorough report with full documentation and support for his opinion. I am extremely pleased with the quality of his work.

      Excellent experience! No matter the size of the estate, everyone is treated with the highest of care and professionalism. Brady helped us with a small estate of collectables and coins and treated it like we were big leaguers! Thank you again and for the follow up advice! Highly recommended.

      I have been trying to find information about my Thonet dining chairs on my own for years to no avail. After recently doing a furniture appraisel search I found Brady. His professional credentials prompted me to submit an online appraisel with him. He was quick to respond, was very personable and provided me the information I could not find on my own. I only wish I would have done this years ago! I highly recommend working with Brady!

      Clients are often rudderless in a sea of information, and we provide an appraisal service that will provide meaningful results. We encounter a great variety of personal property that we must research. This research adds to our toolbox of experience. When coupled with the formal training from trusted appraiser associations, this gives our clients the credibility and expertise they need access to for reliable results. Since we do not buy, sell, or take property into our possession, it provides peace of mind for our clients to know the results are uncompromised. Art of Estates thank you for leaving us such a thoughtful review of how we helped.
